The Student Council is an integral part of promoting and encouraging student voice in our school. It helps to empower students to take responsibility for their own school environment. This is part of creating an inclusive, positive environment which is advocated by the Department of Education through various circulars and reports. It also aligns with our school ethos of respect, community, care, equality and excellence in education.
Annually, students are nominated by fellow students and elections are held in each year group. Students represent their peers’ views and voice opinions on school issues. It acts as a link between the student body and school management.
The council is involved in improving the school experience for their peers and organising school events, such as the Amber Flag Cyclothon in 2025 which raised over €700 for Pieta House. As a result, the school was awarded the Amber Flag for promoting mental health and forged links with local businesses who sponsored our event.
